Moms Exam
Hi all. Its time for my moms three moth exam with her oncologist. She is very very nervous, as I am sure you all can understand. I am asking for prayers and good thoughts for her. Her name is Donna as well, the exam is Tuesday the 10th. I believe in the power of prayer and the power of the beautiful poeple Ive met on the and other Breast cancer sites. God Bless and thank you all so much for the support and the inspiration.
With love , Donna
